In fact I don't think that rich people are cartoon villains who enjoy watching the poors starve. If AI leads to greatly increased productivity, then at existing tax rates there will be more than enough to provide good living conditions for people who can't find jobs.
so why do we have the poverty and inequality today?
why do they spend the money they do on the things they do?
they are not altruists and they never will be.
they could change millions of lives today, but most do not.
pure naivete.
